    Neshaminy School District is pleased to introduce a free new app, Here Comes the Bus, to help you manage your student's transportation to and from school and monitor the location of their school bus or van in real time. This app, which is available for both Android and iPhone, was rolled on a school-by-school basis during the 2021-2022 school year. The app is part of a comprehensive GPS-enabled fleet management system currently used in over 1200 communities large and small across the country to manage and track school buses and other government / municipal vehicles.

    With Here Comes the Bus, you can send your child to the bus stop at just the right time, helping to avoid missed buses or long waits in freezing temperatures, pouring rain, the hot sun or rush-hour traffic.

    All Neshaminy schools and bus runs are now live on the Here Comes the Bus app!
